ESCAIDE 2026 Programme
The ESCAIDE 2026 programme is taking shape - check the preliminary information on this year's sessions below, and find information on how to register for our pre-conference workshops.
The ESCAIDE programme is built around plenary sessions, abstract presentations, thematic sessions and other events.
The Scientific Committee shapes the plenary sessions, which cover current and relevant topics on infectious disease epidemiology, public health microbiology, and related scientific fields.
Throughout the conference, abstract presentations – both in Poster tours and Fireside sessions – allow speakers to share their work on different topics and exchange with the ESCAIDE audience. Thematic sessions and side events organised by partners of ESCAIDE will also allow participants to explore different subjects in more depth and offer networking opportunities.
View the preliminary programme for ESCAIDE 2026, with an overview of plenaries, side sessions, and abstract presentations.
Plenaries provide an opportunity to discuss public health challenges and scientific advances, with high level speakers from cross-cutting fields.
